A system for monitoring mobile networks using performance management events

This paper presents a performance monitoring system that uses network events to monitor mobile network performance in real time. The system has an architecture that distributes the incoming event load efficiently by filtering events at their ingress point, distributing only events that are used in the system, and using Complex Event Processing to correlate and aggregate events. The system uses a model driven approach to so that all components in the system have a common understanding of the events being processed and produced in the system.
